Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe aims to increase immigration

Saskatchewan Prime Minister Scott Moe intends to convince the Canadian government to increase immigration to the province from 6,000 to 13,000 people annually.

To do this, he turned to the business community of Saskatchewan for help with a request from the Canadian authorities for a new immigration agreement between Canada and Saskatchewan.

Like most officials in Saskatchewan, Mo believes the province needs more immigration autonomy in the immigration process to meet economic needs and address labour shortages.

By 2030, the province plans to create another 100,000 jobs. The provincial government aims to make the SINP the primary source of immigrants, increasing Saskatchewan's population to 1.4 million by 2030.

Canada acknowledges racism within its immigration system and pledges to improve African international students’ experience

Systemic racism is present in Canada, and more must be done to end it. African students should not face unfair selection criteria when applying for study permits, but unfortunately, they often do.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) acknowledged the problems in response to a House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration report.

IRCC acknowledged there is racism in Canada along with within the organization itself and concurred that more needs to be done concerning racial bias and discrimination as it pertains to organizational policies, programs, functions, and processing.
